Staff Spotlight: Sarah Boyle
Sarah Boyle
Physical Therapist
What is your name, title, credentials, and specialty?
My name is Sarah Mangiarelli-Boyle. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science and a Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy, both from Slippery Rock University. I specialize in orthopedic injuries and post-surgery rehabilitation in addition to treating pain and movement disorders.
What brought you to Mangiarelli Rehabilitation?
My mom who is a physical therapist! After I graduated and passed the Physical Therapy Licensure Exam in July 2010, we started a family-owned private practice. My love for the field began much earlier when I was 12. I remember going with my mom to work for “Take Your Daughter to Work Day” and knew this is what I wanted to do.
How long have you worked here?
Since July 2010, so almost 10 years.
Can you briefly describe your role at Mangiarelli Rehabilitation?
I am a staff physical therapist who provides initial evaluations, re-evaluations, and treatment including individualized exercise programs, manual techniques, and education.
Can you describe your specialty (or specialties)?
I specialize in orthopedic injuries and post-surgery rehabilitation in addition to treating pain and neuromuscular disorders. I also treat patients who exhibit impaired balance.
What is your favorite part of your job?
I really enjoy the relationship I develop with patients and witnessing the progression of improvement. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a patient meet their goals and improve their overall quality of life.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I love to travel and explore places I have never been, especially with my two little boys and husband. I also enjoy crafting and home projects.
What do you wish people knew about physical therapy?
I wish people knew how successful physical therapy is in alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life. Our goal is to educate and teach patients exercises and movement patterns to manage their symptoms and not have to rely on medication or invasive techniques. It’s very empowering for a patient to control how their body feels independently.
